Une petite lacune dans ce topic : Comment saluer un pastafari en pays étranger ?Le « Noodely Appendage » c'est bien mais « May you be touched by His Noodely Appendage » c'est mieux.A small gap in this topic: how to greet a pastafari in foreign country?"Noodely Appendage" it is good but " May you be touched by His Noodely Appendage " it is better. Then :

May you be touched by His Noodely Appendage = Que son Appendice Nouilleux(Nouillesque, Nouillu)te touche

May the Pasta be with you = Que la Pasta soit avec toiA variant : May the Pasta be in you = Que la Pasta soit en toi

May His Holy Sauce bless you = Que sa Sainte Sauce te Bénisse

Je rajoute quelques surnoms donnés au Monstre : Les québecois ayant fait remarqué que son Nom était tellement saint qu'il ne convenait pas de le prononcer.I add some nicknames given to the Monster: the Quebec having made noticed that His Name was so holy that it was not advisable to pronounce it :His Deliciousness = Sa SavouretéHis Co(s)mic Almightyness = Son Omnipententialité Co(s)miqueHis Scientific Smoothing Slyness= Sa Chafouinité Scientifique PlananteEtc. to reinvent for every evoked situation.

I can read and understand some French, but responding back in French is out of the question.

To translate, I use "Reverso" http://www.reverso.net/text_translation.aspx?%20Lang=FR This software is scientifically calibrated, the Monster thus touches every translation of its Noodely Appendage by modifying the sense: there is thus a mystic message hidden in every translation. Long researches in dialect former pastafarian allow to find the sense. *My uncle uses a feather of eagle which is smaller than its garden in which he runs, but bigger than my pen, it is sure...* To thwart effect of the Noodely Touch we can retranslate in the other direction to verify, but it is less delicious.My Pastafarian web site so translated into English http://pastafarism.canalblog.com/

I think the closest translation would be "Hans nudliga extremitet" even though that directly translates into "His noodly limb". I don't thing we got an enough of a anatomy geek here to point out that appendages consists of much more than just limbs so I thing we're going to be ok.

I don't think it is going to help much though, "extremitet" is almost as obscure word as "bihang", if not more.

P.S. Welcome back, Bug! Where have you been? I do hope Atlantis hasn't been suffering from the floods…

You might be right. I'll think about a translation that correctly conveys all the innuendos of the original sentence

I decided my English was too bad for me to be able to contribute to the extent I wished in the discussions on this forum. But I guess I can come in and make unnecessary comments now and then

I can try to barge in on the shooting and create a continuity error with a FSM sign in the background. All continuity errors are, after all, His way of saying that He is the one who controls time and space.

If you can write that, your English is more than adequate for anything going on here. That's very good indeed.After all, even Welshmen, Scotsmen and Herefordians manage after a fashion.
